Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • I was so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a kind, gentle soul. My condolences to all members and especially Viola. - Posted by: Cheryl Shirtliffe (friend) on: Jun 17, 2025

  • I remember lots of fun playing baseball, dodgeball and running in the hills near school. I always wanted to be on Maurice's team! Then there was the annual Field Day at Grand Beach where we rode in the back of Nelson's truck from Belair to Grand Beach for the day to participate in races etc. Nice memories of a kind, fun guy. Maurice had a big heart! My deepest condolences to all family and friends. I know my Mom would send her love and condolences as well as she thought the world of Maurice. Many hugs!
